No 6. Joe Paterno

Michael Hickey, US-Presswire.

The Buzz: Despite the controversy that surrounded the end of Paterno's career, he nearly nipped Bowden for the most career wins at the NCAA's highest level of football and turned Penn State into a nationally-recognized program. He recorded 409 career wins if you include the victories stripped away by the NCAA. Paterno won two national titles, one Big Ten title and was named AFCA coach of the year five times.
